That's great (and quick)! It works like a charm. fn:starts-with() was 
expected in any solution because of the chosen names in my example, but 
I actually need a union of named nodes. Funny I never thought of using 
the 'except' operator though, indeed: now it is fairly simple....

For any a reason I try to avoid using for-each, but you put me in the 
right direction for doing the same trick with only a pull (or was it 
push?) model. I now use a variant of this which places the special cases 
to the root level, which eases maintenance, I hope:

  
<xsl:key name="t" match="Make-Toute-Seul-1 | Make-Toute-Seul-2 | 
Make-Toute-Seul-3" use="''" />

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="$copy-me/*"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Body">
   <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="key('t', '')" />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="key('t', '')">
   <Document>
       <xsl:copy-of select="(../* except key('t', ''))|."/>
   </Document>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="* | @*">
   <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


Thanks!
